1 4 VITALITY EXPRESS (CL364) Z Purton B/TT1 2-wide behind midfield. Commenced run 3-wide passing 600M and reached the leading section turning in. Kept on well to repel rivals home.
2 6 PURE CHAMPION (M178) W C Marwing TT Well enough away, ended up one-out-one-back first turn. Dropped to midfield passing 600M when runners around improved. Closed off satisfactorily in the straight but post came too soon.
3 2 PACKING OK (CL372) D Beadman H Trapped wide early. Strode forward to park one-off behind leader first turn. Battled gamely with the winner home straight until no extra final 100M. Lost 2nd near finish.
4 3 KING OF SCOTS (CK084) C Y Ho -- Never far off the pace on fence to home straight. One-paced to conclude.
5 1 JAMESINA (CH290) J Lloyd CP/TT Back with last few on fence to home straight and made some late headway.
6 5 HAPPY GUYS (CL275) H W Lai B Eased to 2-wide at rear after start. Swung widest rounding home turn and made up some ground.
7 8 VIGOR DELIGHT (CK070) M Du Plessis H/P Led on fence until overhauled passing 400M. Weakened final furlong.
8 7 OLE OLE (CK301) W M Lai TT Towards rear. Brief progress outside home turn but failed to sustain soon after straightening.
